McQuaid herself offers Reiki therapy and training, using this Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation.

“Our focus is on getting people well and staying well along with what they’re doing with their doctor,” McQuaid said. She added that clients may need medications to control health issues such as high blood pressure, but THE Healing Clinic may add toward controlling stress that might cause health problems.

THE Healing Clinic held its grand opening on Sept. 6, but some may recognize McQuaid as a local yoga instructor.

“The property sits up on a hill, and then the back of it goes town toward the bayou,” said operations director Mark Nelson. Doc’s Oyster Bar is owned by local doctor and restaurateur Michael Harris.

Before setting the menu, Nelson and the bar’s chef toured along the gulf coast, trying oysters and seeing what other locations serve.

“We use Apalachicola oysters for as long as we can get them from our suppliers, as long as they’re safe,” Nelson said. After that, the bar draws on suppliers from Louisiana and Texas, and they’ve also gone further north along the Atlantic coast.

Grilled oyster flavors include a Caesar salad, a three-piece jalapeño, and the Swamp Fire, which draws on Buffalo wing seasonings.

The craft beers come from around the nation, but Doc’s Oyster Bar has brought in the area’s very own Pensacola Bay Brewery beers.

Doc’s opened in August, and after Friday night football games will make it a great gathering location.
